Technavio analysts highlight the following three drivers that are contributing to the growth of the global organic sanitary napkins market:

  • Negative effect of sanitary napkins
  • Emergence of e-commerce
  • Rise in awareness

Negative effect of sanitary napkins

The usage of sanitary napkins has its downfalls. Certain sanitary napkins available in the market contain harmful chemicals such as dioxin and rayon, which are injurious to a woman’s health. The sanitary napkins are bleached with these chemicals to make them look clean and pure but the most damaging side effect of sanitary napkins is that this bleaching agent is toxic to the immune and reproductive system.

A typical woman may have as many as 400 periods in her lifetime. The body is at its weakest during the menstruation cycle, and failure to take appropriate protection during periods may result in ill health. Certain napkins contain cellulose gel and not cotton, which may cause infection. This gel in napkins may also cause cervical cancer.

Emergence of e-commerce

The emergence of e-commerce allows customers to browse and order from a range of products and it also makes the shopping experience easier. E-commerce also helps in brand retention and visibility. Moreover, with the increasing penetration of e-commerce vendors can reach new potential customers and increase the customer base for these products.

The growing popularity of online shopping and the consumer’s trust in internet sales, along with faster shipping services has led to higher penetration of organic sanitary products in the market.

Rise in awareness

Governments across the globe have increased spending on education campaigns, awareness programs, and product and technology innovations related to health and hygiene. The rise in health and hygiene awareness among the rural population as well as working professionals has had a significant impact on their lives.

Initiatives such as The Great WASH Yatra by the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) in various countries educate women about hygiene and convince them to replace the use of cloth menstrual pads with sanitary napkins. This has had a noteworthy influence on the demand for numerous feminine hygiene products, especially in emerging countries. Many seminars and campaigns have also been conducted in schools and colleges worldwide regarding the safety procedures concerning the use and disposal of feminine hygiene products.

“The US has emerged as the biggest market for organic sanitary napkins, with the age group between 18-40 years being the largest contributor to the organic sanitary napkins market,” says Amber.
